Apple crosses the $2T market capitalization mark.

The tech and services company has positioned itself to take some advantage of its new stature. In early August, the company announced a four-for-one stock split, the company’s fifth stock split since going public in 1980. Individual shares are trading in the mid-$400’s, so for instance a unit worth $440 would be split into four shares of $110. That makes them more affordable for smaller investors to pick up.

The tech company isn't the first to hit the $2 trillion mark. Saudi Arabia's state-owned Saudi Aramco, the world’s largest producer of oil, did so during its December 2019 stock debut. But the company was hammered during this year’s global economic slowdown and a plunge in oil prices, and its valuation has since tumbled to $121 billion.

Increasingly, customers are reliant on a blend of interconnected Apple services such as iCloud, Photos, Music, and the App Store, which has shifted focus from fixed prices for apps with in-app purchases to recurring subscription models.
